Ray Pelletier (Michael Rooker, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Slither) is looking forward to a quiet weekend of ice fishing with his family. Unfortunately for him the obnoxious big city father-son duo of Steve and Stevie Cote has picked the same weekend to spend at the remote frozen lake.

Hikers, skiers, climbers, hunters, fishermen, bicyclists, and lost children-all are potentially at risk of hypothermia or other cold injuries including frostbite and trenchfoot. Cold water immersion is also a major cause of death in boating accidents. Yet as shown in anecdotes from the updated second edition of "Hypothermia, Frostbite, and Other Cold Injuries", many people have died unnecessarily, succumbing to cold effects long before hypothermia sets in: This compact, comprehensive book covers the causes and effects of hypothermia and other cold injuries, and tells how to prevent, recognize, and treat them. The new second edition includes expanded coverage of how the body loses heat and the latest rewarming techniques such as thermal wraps. There are new chapters on cold water drowning and covering additional cold injuries from Raynaud's phenomenon to cold-induced asthma. Other new chapters present strategies for cold weather survival, plus safe practices for working on the ice and ice water escape and rescue techniques.

The author documents in detail how he planned and climbed the peaks, starting with his older son, then with his younger son. They experienced the thrill of penetrating the largest tract of wilderness left in the northeastern U.S., along with the risks - 22 trailless peaks, danger from hypothermia and Beaver Fever, blinding storms, voracious black flies, etc. Just as important, the author links in a literary and historical sense the romanticism of the Adirondacks past with clinical reports coming out of the Adirondacks present. The result is a paean of joy and adventure, conjuring up, as he notes in the foreword, the exploits of Lewis and Clark, Francis Parkman, Richard Halliburton, Amelia Earhart, Sir Edmund Hillary, and Tenzig Norgay... whoever fires your imagination.

This up-to-the-minute reference looks at many aspects of lung physiology and pathophysiology in the most challenging of physical environments on Earth-that of diving. Highlights causes of pulmonary barotrauma (severe or permanent lung injury) such as hypothermia, carbon dioxide poisoning, nitrogen narcosis, and pulmonary oxygen toxicity! Written by over 20 international experts in the field, The Lung at Depth covers the physics and physiology of immersion as it pertains to circulatory function and gas exchange examines the controversial issue of diving risks associated with asthma and other aspects of pulmonary fitness for diving explores the effects of different breathing gas compositions and the dangers of inhaling high-density gas at low temperatures addresses both the theoretical and practical problems of oxygen toxicity and carbon dioxide retention explains the lung's action as a bubble filter in decompression and its vulnerability to barotrauma evaluates subtle lung changes due to long-term diving exposures juxtaposes the pathophysiology of drowning and the physiology of liquid breathing details the unique challenges of human breath-hold diving and the remarkable adaptations of diving animals discusses the limitations and optimal design of breathing gear for divers and more!

Returning to America after delivering the fatal bomb for Gnola Gay, The USS Indianapolis was out of radio contact when it was torpedoed. Consequently its sinking remained undetected by the Navy for nearly five days as the 900 survivors of the impact were lost into the Pacific Ocean to face savage seas, hypothermia and sharks. Of the 1196 men on board, only 316 survived. Interweaving the stories of three survivors - the Captain, the ship's doctor and a young marine - this is an account of a little-known chapter in World War II history.

Living our lives in well-heated homes, cars, and offices, we rarely view hypothermia or frostbite as anything that will happen to us. Yet, as Hal Weiss explains, something as simple as becoming stranded on a winter commute, or getting wet and cold at a football game can lead to problems. In this simple, well-organized book, Weiss guides readers through the basics of how the body loses heat; how to determine the best clothing combinations for any activity; and how to prepare for and survive a cold-weather emergency. Winter outdoor enthusiasts will find tips on how to camp in winter along with basic plans for types of snow caves and shelters. Additional sections cover hypothermia prevention and treatment; treatment for frostbite; and tips for stocking your home and car with an emergency kit.

Snowboarding is pretty fun, especially when you don't die. Whether it's avalanches, hypothermia, runaway snowboards, falling ice, tree-wells, or even goats... snowboarders have a lot to worry about! In this guide you'll find everything you need to conquer the sport, gain first-hand experience from the experts, and learn how to avoid some of the (literal) pitfalls that you'll find. Whether you are going to compete in the X-Games someday, or you just want to have some fun in the snow, there's something in this book for everyone. Alpine climates are tricky if you aren't used to them, so there's a lot to teach when it comes to the snow. My goal was to create a guide that anyone could learn from, even if you've never even seen the snow. Everyone should be able to experience the joy that comes with snowboarding, so this guide was written to be universally accessible. At the end of the day I want to teach you how to snowboard (have fun) and not die. Whoa! That's the title!
